Well done, and in record time!

It's very nice to see these often neglected pioneers represented in model form.

You have done it justice.

Cheers

I second that sentiment!

Very nice to see, your fine model brings back some memories. I built one, and the Avro Triplane many years ago after watching  a film called "Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines"- a really fun film if you have not seen it.

 

Yes, it is! There were six of these kits that Inpact produced, tied into that film: Avro Biplane and Triplane, Bristol Boxkite, Bleriot, Martin-Handasyde, and of course the Deperdussin.

In the mid-'60s they were very impressive and unique kits: 55 years later that pioneer era is still mostly represented by these moulds, which have outlasted several manufacturer's names.

 

As four of the six 1/1 scale versions still fly at Old Warden, you could build Shuttleworth in 1/48!
